SAN BERNARDINO: Details murky in the gunshot wounding of a man, 63

A 63-year-old San Bernardino man is in grave condition after being shot in the head at his home — though it's unclear who shot him or why, police say.

“We have not ruled out an accident, an attempted suicide or an attempted murder,” Sgt. Gary Robertson said of the violence at 2:06 p.m. Thursday, May 23, in the 400 block of East Norman Road. It is northeast of Waterman Avenue and Orange Show Road.

Police questioned someone who Robertson categorized as a “person of interest” but not a suspect, “if in fact there is a crime.”

The victim was living alone at the house and had been renovating it for the owner, Robertson said.

Detectives found no gun, no shell casings and no witnesses to the shooting. And the person they questioned denied having been present during the gunfire.

“We’re still mystified at what happened,” Robertson said.

Anyone with information about the case may call Robertson at 909-841-5361.
